He is a stupid man …. Doesn’t know baseball ⚾️ he just a big market get he wants dodgers or Yankees to always win. The 1995 mariners was like the ultimate humiliation for guy like this .
As a Japanese, Ohtani and Yamamoto on the same team gives me goosebumps. Wish them and the Dodgers best of luck!!! Japan will support you! I've been following Ohtani and Yamamoto since they were rookies in Japan and now that they are playing at the highest level in the world, I'm so proud of them! They are two of the most hardworking players.
Japanese fans are the best! I ran into a bunch of Japanese fans going to a Dodgers-Angels game last year and their enthusiasm for baseball and Ohtani is so great to see. Truly a special offseason for Japanese baseball fans and Dodger fans.
I don't think it's just a sheer admiration for Ohtani that was a deciding factor for Yamamoto. There is a practical reason why being Ohtani's teammate would dramatically increase Yamamoto's exposure to Japan. The only free games (i.e. without paying MLB network international subscription) that will be broadcasted in Japan (by NHK-BS) will be Dodgers' games for a foreseeable future. If Yamamoto had joined a team other than Dodgers, the only time Japanese people will see him would have been in 30-second highlights every 6 days. Now he is a Dodger, not only all his starts will be closely viewed, but also the image of his chatting with his pal Shohei in the bench will be seen on Japanese TV every night. That pull had to be irresistible.
And, it's not that bad. Now, they have Shohei and Yamamoto. They have a lock on the Japanese sponsors. They'll probably get another $30M in ads from Japanese companies. They'll sell a few more seats (even though they have great attendance). Basically, they are shelling out $35M for Shohei and Yamamoto net cash. Pretty good deal. (doesn't include luxury tax)
Don't underestimate Ohtani's presence and influence on Japanese players. He basically has paved the road from Japan to the Dodgers and we will see more like this deal in the future because of Ohtani. After Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki, is the best pitcher in Japan and here in MLB, they think he is a real deal and that he's even better than Ohtani and Yamamoto. Sasaki wants to come to MLB but timing isn't right. He adores Ohtani so if the Dodgers want to get him, let Ohtani recruit him. Other than money, who can say NO to Ohtani. Now, Ohtani is a 3-way player: a pitcher, a batter and an excellent recruiting GM!!
What if I told you I'm a mastermind? And now you're mine It was all by design 'Cause I'm a mastermind ((Otani Shohei, 2023)) to Glasnow, Yamamoto 🔜 Sasaki
It's not that he is not ready or the timing isn't right. But it's his team not wanting to lose a player like him at this moment. That's why they told Sasaki no when he was asked to be posted. If I was him I would be a bit mad that they told me no. Because I could be on a team with Ohtani and Yamamoto dominating the MLB.
@@sinep8008 ,well, actually timing isn't right either. I agree that his team doesn't want to lose him now but Sasaki hasn't pitched a full season, yet. His body isn't strong enough to go through the rotation throughout the year. So, next year will be his big test.
yeah... I kinda feel bad for Ty even though he has no one to blame to beside himself. But I give him big thumb up for showing up and took in the harsh words.
@@thanhclips Oh boo hoo, I'm sure you'll never recover from those precious few hours of your life. Most spoiled fans in sports, it's why you turds are still the most hated team in baseball.
Dodgers scouted Ohtani in high school and he's six hours closer to home in good weather for baseball, no snow, no cold. He probably considered Canada due to the dome. Yankees would have to pay more than the Dodgers.
It's about maximizing perfect conditions for baseball. His contract is only a little higher than the best contract now so 700 is just for the headlines. Imagine you being a hi school kid and the Dodgers scouted you. Did the Yankees? I bet he didn't forget.@@xmohawkx985
Jeff Passan's right about Japanese players wanting to play alongside Ohtani. Remember that memorable speech Ohtani gave to his teammates prior to the WBC final game? "Let's stop admiring these guys(members of the team USA) for a moment, for at least one game. Because you're not going to overcome your opponent if you respect them more than you should." Well, there's a joke made about Ohtani's speech amongst his teammates. They were confused when Ohtani made his speech...All of his teammates were thinking "What's he talking about?? We admire you(Ohtani) the most. What do we need to be afraid of when we have Ohtani on our side!" That's the mindset they were in when they battled team USA for the title game.
It seems like last week, but it's been 23 years since I've heard Passan's unbridled sarcasm and signature laugh. We both had open door offices on the second floor of 744 Ostrom Ave as editors for the Daily Orange at Syracuse. From my desk in the Lifestyle/Features department, it was hard not to get distracted from the consistent laughter coming from the Sports guys: Pass, Greg Bishop (NY Times), Dave Curtis and Pete Thamel occasionally. I recall our QB, Troy Nunes, and his Neanderthal-like qualities being a hot topic. To this day, I still don't know how a bunch a kids (some possibly hungover) managed to show up five days a week at 4:00pm and have a paper ready to print by 2:00am. Then get up the next morning for class and do it again. Glad you're doing well Pass, but maybe it's time to retire your college haircut. :-)
With the specifics of Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s Dodger’s contract, it now seems obvious that they should have been the favorites all along. Yamamoto has been a Dodgers fan from childhood and is pals with Shohei Ohtani. Once Ohtani agreed to defer the majority of his contract, it gave the Dodgers monetary flexibility to offer Yamamoto all the money that he eventually signed for. Therefore, it seems the key was signing Ohtani then offering to defer so much of his contract. History could have been so different if Ohtani either signed with the Yankees out of Japan or this year as a free agent. But he was never interested in playing on the East Coast so it’s all moot. However, can’t help but wondering what would have happened if the Yankees had offered Yamamoto a $330 million contract over 11 years, $5 million than the Dodgers. If Yankees were really all in, is $30 million more too much to spend? Now, they have to hope whichever SP they can now sign will do the job; both Rodin and Cortes rebounds, several prospect produce and the injury bug doesn’t continue (which is another entirely different issue).
Many Japanese people do not feel that the Yankees' treatment of Hideki Matsui was warm at all. Compared to that, I think the Japanese players can play more comfortably with the Dodgers.
Mets needed to bid an offer that LA and Yankees couldn't match. Cohen made a bad decision. Cohen gave 43M each to 2 aging 40 year old pitchers last year and think 25 year old 3 time CY and MVP in Pacific league Yamamoto is worth less than that? 400M would have sealed the deal and hard for LA to match.
@@BeastCoast4747 Sorry😂. The dodgers are becoming Japan's team. The signing of ohtani and yamamoto will likely have more reason why he would join them 🤷♂️🔥
In baseball just pay and you win the title remember the Yankees dominated the 90’s doing exactly the same thing the dodgers about to do mlb structure suck so much lol😂
So, to recap, the Yankees and Mets front offices are jumping off bridges because they couldn't sign ONE of these guys, and then when the Dodgers sign BOTH of them, it's just baseball and it means nothing. Just imagine how mediocre the Dodgers will be when they sign Josh Hader.
Not at the expense of less money and ability to resign Soto! Gift in disguise! Good for the Dodgers but I love Juan way more than this guy or any pitcher not named Cole.
Passan was acting like a bully. Dude, get a hold of yourself. That was *not* good natured fun... That was someone trying to humiliate someone else. You just don’t kick a man like that when he’s down. There’s a more light-hearted way to joke around, sure - but that was not it. Glad the host stuck up for Ty at the end.
maybe be angrier at ur teams pocketing that revenue sharing money instead of reinvesting in team....dodgers reset tax burden for this year, so this was coming....dodgers also don't even have highest payroll in mlb next season after this....
There is no doubt this contract will be a disaster within 5 years, just as ohtan's will. There isn't a single super long contract that hasn't been a disaster halfway through
He said he wanted to play with another Japanese player (which the Yankees don't have) on top of the fact that Gerrit Cole is their established ace which is what he wants to be on the dodgers
The CBT is a joke. Rich teams pay poor teams like the As to suck even harder. Either have a hard cap or no cap. Make the rule no Cap to sign your own players but if you sign a free agent from another team you lose 1 of your 2 year minimum controlled players outside your protected 30 roster players or your next years highest available draft pick. Teams can spend what they want and poorer teams don't get paid off but can at least develop the next free agents to be and be a glorified minor league team that they are.
That's just not how the market works, frankly if there was NFL style parity in baseball it would be even less popular than it is now. For the sport to succeed the big market teams need to succeed.
I blame the way the league is structured for allowing owners to game the CBT and still profit. The As suck because they have a bad owner who is only looking at profitability not success. He is allowed to do this because of the leagues rules for CBT. @@rainbowhouse3427
The As have had talent through the years they just refuse to pay them or pursue the big free agents. That's the owners fault not the MLB besides not even As fans care about the As they are moving to Vegas for a reason..
No way Passan talks that talk in person, he knows he'd get punk'd real quick. The type of guy that would be salty instead of congratulatory had Ty been correct. Seems to be all about him (dbag) in my opinion.
It's a whole lot of money for a guy who hasn't even pitched in the majors. Yeah, he'll be good, but MLB hitters are better than Japanese hitters, so will he be as good as the hype?
Passan saying this is a “good thing for baseball” is utterly false. This makes a long season much more uninteresting for most mlb teams. Entire markets are going to pass on this season and it’ll only get worse if the dodgers actually win.
Its absolutely great for baseball and maybe smaller market team fans bring it up and known to their team owners that they want their team to compete. Differed money is allowed by every one and every owner of any mlb team has money to spend. Even small market team owners are billionaires they just look at the fact they aren't in the LA/ new york/ Chicago or Boston market and say oh we can't get fans to the stadium lets put a non competitive team on the field and suck but bring in positive revenue from ticket sales, parking and concessions. Its really bad especially when they really can afford it and guess what fans will show up. Remember with the A's not with the money ball era but a couple years ago they had talent and were making wild card and bringing in fans. They refuse to pay for players and a good team now they're having to move cities
@@noahrodriguez8893 tell me how it’s good for the marlins or the rays or the Rockies? Basically any team not named the dodgers. When a sport becomes inevitable it becomes less relevant. Baseball is dying as it is. Also I live in Boston and even though the owners a rich they care just as little as everyone else. Baseball is a grind games every day, I have zero interest in watching the Red Sox this year. Meanwhile in every other sport multiple teams have an opportunity to win making the season much more exciting.
Jeff is really a cool dude for real. He’s the best source for baseball. I blame Ty more for making Yankees fans like myself believe that we actually signed a top 10 pitcher in the world.
@@joewell2709 That's fair, however, this dude seems to be more upset that someone even attempted to break news which is wild to hold breaking news hostage for a whole sport. Folks should be happy to share breaking news... and Ty isnt a scumbag for receiving wrong information. He was simply misinformed lol... Jeff took it too far.
hope he gets tommy jon. screw the dodgers and at this point baseball too. this is so stupid. I hope he never wins a tittle. never played 1 game and $325M? hope the dogers are cursed worse then the boston redsox.

Folks should be happy to share breaking news... and Ty isnt a scumbag for receiving wrong information. He was simply misinformed lol... Jeff took it too far.
hope he gets tommy jon. screw the dodgers and at this point baseball too. this is so stupid. I hope he never wins a tittle. never played 1 game and $325M? hope the dogers are cursed worse then the boston redsox.

He might not have thrown in MLB yet
But at the WBC he threw to MLB talent and won
LFG. DODGERS !!! lol
My entertainment was not the YY news debacle, but Jerry Lewis and the a Yorki Yankster fan going back and forth
